Russian President‌ Vladimir Putin Expresses Support for Kamala Harris⁣ in US Presidential Election

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Surprising Endorsement

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently attended ⁤the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, where he ​made headlines with his comments ⁢on ‍the upcoming US presidential ‍election.

When asked about the election, Putin expressed his support for Democratic⁤ presidential ‌candidate Kamala Harris, stating that he and ‍his party will back her in the November election.

Putin’s ⁤comments come ‌after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race ⁣in July and endorsed Vice President Harris as his successor. Harris will face Republican candidate Donald Trump in the election.

Putin described Biden as “our favorite” and ⁣urged allies to support Harris, saying, “That’s ⁣what we’ll do. I⁢ support her.” He ‍also praised Harris’s​ “expressive face” and “inducing laugh,” suggesting that she is in good spirits.

Regarding ‌candidate Trump,⁣ Putin noted that he imposed more sanctions on Russia than any other president has ever imposed before. However, he suggested that ​Harris​ might not follow the same path if she is ​in good form.

Ultimately, Putin ‍emphasized that the choice of the American people will be respected, stating, “Who they ultimately choose will be the ⁣choice of the American people, and‍ we will respect that ‍choice.”

The US government ⁤has imposed sanctions on several executives of Russian state-run media outlets and restricted visa issuance for ⁢media personnel with ties to the Kremlin, accusing the Russian government of attempting ‌to interfere in this year’s election through the media.
